Feb-23-11  wordfunph: birthday greetings to the most shy GM i've ever met --- GM Ngoc Truong Son!

cheers!!

Feb-23-11  Penguincw: < wordfunph: birthday greetings to the most shy GM i've ever met --- GM Ngoc Truong Son!

cheers!! >

I think the most "shy" grandmaster I ever heard of was Akiba Rubinstein. On Wikipedia,it says that he used to make his move,then hide in a corner of the tournament hall and wait for his opponent to reply.However,its Wikipeida.It could be someone making up the info.

  alexmagnus: Rubinstein was not shy, he was ill. Panic fear of humans is somewhat different than plain shyness...
Feb-23-11  Penguincw: < alexmagnus:Rubinstein was not shy,he was ill.Panic fear of humans is somewhat different than plain shyness... > That's why I put <shy> in quotes.
Feb-23-11  wordfunph: <alex> <Penguin>

ok ok they're both shy, shy to beat us in chess.. :)

Feb-23-12  wordfunph: "I haven't figure out why I usually play badly in Vietnam. May be I will change my method when playing with familiar opponents. It's very hard to play in Vietnam."

- GM Nguyen Ngoc Truongson

happy birthday GM Ngoc!

  Abdel Irada: I'm not sure if the <ChessGames.com> database sample represents this player's career, but the win-loss ratio we see on this page is quite astounding.
Jan-30-13  wordfunph: <chessgames.com> thank you for posting Vietnam's #2 player GM Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son.

the pic was taken during the 3.3 Zonal Championship in Tagaytay City. Second seed GM Ngoc finished solo champ with 7.5/9 clip to book his World Cup campaign in Norway this August.

before his victorious game against GM Paragua, i saw him relaxing outside the playing venue listening to music. During games, he usually takes a stroll around the venue watching games.

this young amiable GM will go a long long way..

goodluck GM Ngoc "The Stroller" Truong Son!

Feb-22-13  wordfunph: GM Ngoc, chúc mung sinh nhat!

In the picture he looks frail. Mind you, you can look frail and play ferocious chess. Just look at photos of Karpov around 1972 for example.

:)
